there’s a diary in my mind

~

there’s a diary in my mind by little samuel bo pepys

…



there's a diary in my mind

it saves on space & writing time

ive kept one since the age of five

the annals of

this life of mine



each night before i go to bed

i think some more things - thoughts are shed

into my diary else instead

perhaps the journal

in my head

...

 

the annual fair

~

the annual fair by deirdre yearly ( 16 lines of blind man’s gold x )

…



the annual fair

has come to town

there's spins 'n' spills

some thrills abound


it's fun for all

if you like rides

sugar & salt

perhaps a fight


or teenage snog

one for the youths

so come on down

it may amuse


our music's shit

there's dodgems here

the fair doth come

but once a year

...

 

sumit ( afoot )

~

sumit ( afoot ) by ye oldey one scoreth lineth readeth ( & aye cry all of us )

…



autumn has locked itself

in a cupboard

then eaten

the only

existing key



mum's gone to iceland

& morning's in

purgatory

summer's in prison

so it's just me



telly is well shat

bingo & biscuits

( i )

wish it could be whitsun

every day



other than easters

or nuclear

tuesdays

some snails are hairy

suspension bridges sway

...

a fading song

~

a fading song by 9 whole actual lines read

…




this here is a fading song

but it's still a song

as it is still audible

but not for very long



banshee wailing waning swan

flaming babylon

this here is a fading song

it's going going

gone

...

 

bluetongue disease

~

bluetongue disease by  head, shoulders, knees & toes

…



intergalac-

tic fuckin' quiche

that's far out flan

clean language please



i am part-sheep

bluetongue disease

around these parts

is spreading free



i'm less than next

oh flippin' 'eck

i am but lost

the merest speck



so shitta-brick

then hit the deck

oh bubblewrap

& chicken necks

...
